- Guideway maintenance,
- Detailed platform cleaning,
- Bird prevention installations,
- Lighting upgrades and repairs, and
- CCTV camera repairs
Waterfront Station will remain open for Canada Line and SeaBus service. Signage and staff will be present at Waterfront, Burrard, and Granville stations to help guide customers to their destination. For customers who would normally use the Expo Line to or from Waterfront Station, there are a few different options available:
- Transfer between Expo Line’s Granville Station and Canada Line’s Vancouver City Centre Station,
- Catch bus route 50 (Waterfront Station / False Creek South) for bus access between Granville and Waterfront stations, or
